Editable DataGrid

[alien2_51]

In the EditCommand event I've added a drop down list to the controls
collection for the cell I want to edit.

Dim objDDLBrake As New DropDownList

objDDLBrake.CssClass = "label1"

objDDLBrake.Items.Add("A")

objDDLBrake.Items.Add("H")

objDDLBrake.SelectedIndex = -1

objDDLBrake.Items.FindByText(DirectCast(WMIGrid.It ems(e.Item.ItemIndex).Cell
s(6).Controls.Item(0), System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox).Text).Selected =
True

DirectCast(WMIGrid.Items(e.Item.ItemIndex).Cells(6 ).Controls.Item(0),
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox).Visible = False

WMIGrid.Items(e.Item.ItemIndex).Cells(6).Controls. Add(objDDLBrake)

So in my update event I try to access the newly created drop down list and
it's gone.... I have only one control in my controls collection, I expect
two...

Dim strFuelTypeCode As String =
DirectCast(WMIGrid.Items(e.Item.ItemIndex).Cells(7 ).Controls.Item(1),
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList).SelectedVa lue

Any thoughts what am I doing wrong....?

Why aren't using using a template column?
